Data in this publication are based on experimental estimates and therefore should be used with care.

This publication contains experimental estimates for the 12 months ended 31 October 2008 of total distance travelled, laden business distance, tonne-kilometres and fuel consumption on the use of passenger vehicles, motor cycles, trucks and buses registered in Australia. The conceptual and methodological issues underpinning the experimental estimates are also outlined in the publication.

The data sources used for the study were the Survey of Motor Vehicle Use, Australia (cat. no. 9208.0) for the reference years 12 months ended 31 October 2005, 2006 and 2007 and the Motor Vehicle Census, Australia, 31 March 2008 (cat. no. 9309.0).
